Ren Shaoyang frowned when he saw that they were as quiet as chickens.

Suddenly, he picked up Liu Chengfeng's broken sword, casually threw it, and with a whoosh, it stuck in front of them, about a foot deep in the floor tile, the blade trembling incessantly.

Shui Dai was startled and retreated, his face turning pale.

The others were also startled and looked at him with trepidation.

But then Ren Shaoyang shouted, "Why do you neither fight nor retreat?"

The crowd retreated hastily, clearly having lost their courage, and became as timid as quails.

Ding An said, "These people look chivalrous and righteous, but in reality they're just petty thieves and nobodies!"

Hongxiu laughed and said, "The words may be crude, but the principle is sound. In their eyes, the martial world is just business and human relationships."

Ding An frowned: "Shouldn't it be about licking blood from the edge of a knife?"

Hongxiu said, "Customs vary from place to place, don't you understand?"

Ding An shook his head: "I don't understand."

Hongxiu asked, "Why do they want to kill us?"

Ding An said, "Fame and fortune!"

Hongxiu nodded: "Why would we kill them?"

Ding An said, "Alive."

Hongxiu smiled: "You see, that's the difference."

Ding'an took a deep breath: "What a huge difference!"

Hongxiu said coldly, "So, they are not chivalrous heroes, but businessmen. When they find themselves at a disadvantage, they want us, or even their own people, as long as they are not themselves, to 'consider the bigger picture'."

Ding'an angrily retorted, "Why?!"

"Yes, why should they? If they back down, they lose face. But if we back down, we lose our lives!"

Hongxiu smiled slightly, but there was no mischievousness in her smile, only a fierce edge.

"Ding'an, remember this: if anyone tries to prevent us from living in peace, we'll fucking kill them!"

Ding'an stared blankly at the unfamiliar Hongxiu.

Perhaps this kind of beggar's expression is her true appearance?

But who cares?

No matter what she looks like, she's still our family's little beggar.

Ding An smiled and said, "I understand."

At this moment, Ren Shaoyang waved and said, "Come on, let's continue."

"Butcher!" Shui Dai cried out in anguish, "My eldest brother, second brother, and third brother all died at your hands. Do you really intend to exterminate them all?"

Ren Shaoyang nodded: "Why not?"

Before he could finish speaking, a shrill scream was suddenly heard.

"Daddy!"

Everyone was stunned and turned to look. They saw Shui Sheng staggering in, covered in blood and mud, with a sorrowful expression on her face.

Shui Dai exclaimed, "Sheng'er, what's wrong with you?"

Shui Sheng ignored the corpses on the ground, knelt down with a thud, and stared straight at her father.

"Father, he's dead, all of them are dead!"

Her voice went hoarse, and tears streamed down her cheeks.

Shui Dai, unaware of the reason, stepped forward and asked, "Sheng'er, is she dead? Who died?"

Before she could finish speaking, Shui Sheng suddenly cried out, "Blood, blood carried by the wind, blood everywhere!" She swung her arm wildly and slapped her father across the face.

Shui Dai was stunned for a moment after being hit, but then he saw the deep fear in her tearful eyes and quickly comforted her, "Good Sheng'er, don't worry, don't worry, Daddy's here, ah~"

Shui Sheng was terrified. Upon hearing the name "Sheng'er," she burst into hysterical sobs. After crying for a while, she finally managed to sob, "Father, when my cousin and I went out of the city to welcome the Three Northern Monsters, we discovered that they... they had all been killed."

"what?!"

Shui Dai was shocked and found it hard to believe. He asked, "How were they killed?"

Shui Sheng said, "I don't know. When we got there, we saw blood everywhere, blood in the wind, and blood on the moon."

Recalling the horrific scene just now, her face contorted with unspeakable fear, and she gripped Shui Dai's clothes with both hands, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.

Shui Dai felt a surge of pity and gently comforted his daughter, but thinking of their current predicament, his heart ached, and he looked at Ren Shaoyang. Ren Shaoyang was looking at the father and daughter with curiosity when he suddenly asked, "Who killed the Three Northern Monsters?"

"The Blood Blade!" Shui Sheng screamed shrilly, her voice mournful and desolate, like the wailing of a crow at dusk. "That blood-red scimitar! The same scimitar as 'One-Sword Immortal'!"

Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at the little beggar watching the show.

"What does it have to do with me?"

Seeing everyone's gaze sweep over her, Hongxiu put her hands on her hips and started cursing.

Shui Dai closed his eyes, let out a long breath, and after a long while said, "And then what?"

Shui Sheng's tears flowed again: "Later, my cousin and I ran and ran, for a long time, until we saw the Wanjialou signboard. My cousin, my cousin... suddenly he split in two, and then the horse also split in two, and I fell to the ground. Blood, blood everywhere fell on me, the world was red, so red." At this point, Shui Sheng couldn't catch her breath and collapsed into Shui Dai's arms.

Upon seeing this, Shui Dai quickly pressed down on Shui Shengren.

After a moment, Shui Sheng opened her eyes and said through tears, "My cousin is dead, he'll never wake up again..."

Shui Dai was stunned for a long time. Now that he was middle-aged, the death of his elder brother and nephews before his eyes caused him great pain, and tears streamed down his face.

Ren Shaoyang asked quietly, "Where is the Blood Saber Ancestor?"

Shui Sheng said, "I don't know, I don't know."

"If he could kill Wang Xiaofeng, why did he let you go?"

Ren Shaoyang took a few steps back, retreating to the side of the little beggar and Ding An.

Shui Sheng looked extremely confused, clutching her head and screaming, "Don't ask me, don't ask me!"

Suppressing his anger, Shui Dai said to Ren Shaoyang, "Shut up! You fiend, if you want my life, come at me directly! Why bother?"

Suddenly, a sigh came: "We were having so much fun, why did you have to spoil the mood?"

"what?"

Everyone was stunned. Shui Dai opened her eyes wide and looked at Shui Sheng: "Sheng'er, you..."

"Chi~!"

A flash of light appeared, and everything turned blood red.

Everyone gasped in surprise, dumbfounded.

Ren Shaoyang frowned and stood in front of the two.

With a strange smile, Shui Sheng asked, "How did you discover my weakness?"

Ren Shaoyang stared at him: "I felt something was off about you, so I decided to bluff a little."

Shui Sheng exclaimed incredulously, "That's it?"

Ren Shaoyang nodded and smiled, "For someone who's always on the move, a little suspicion is enough."

"Yes, yes!" Shui Sheng suddenly laughed, her voice no longer clear and crisp, but rough and even domineering.

It was an old male voice.

"Who are you? What did you do to Sheng'er?" Shui Dai asked with wide eyes and great effort.

“Her,” Shui Sheng smiled, slowly turning around gracefully, “isn’t she right here on me?” As she spoke, she reached behind her back and pulled it off.

Chi!

A tiny human skin was peeled off, and immediately an old monk wearing a blood-red robe grew out.

"Ah, you, you are the Blood Blade Ancestor!" The crowd cried out in terror.

Blood Blade Ancestor pushed the human skin forward, grinning, and said, "Old man, here, your daughter."

As Shui Dai looked at the human skin in the old ancestor's hand, which had vivid features, she seemed to hear her calling "Father, Father" as it trembled slightly. Shui Dai trembled all over, her eyes widened, and she cried out "Sheng'er!" She ran a few steps forward and was about to hug the human skin.

Suddenly, a sound of shattering pearls and jade came from inside his body. A mouthful of blood mist spurted out from the top of his head, splitting his body neatly in two from head to crotch. The remains of his body still lurched forward for about ten feet.

Internal organs, along with fresh blood, shot into the sky and scattered all over the ground.

Upon seeing this, everyone screamed in unison, overwhelmed by an unprecedented fear. They felt as if they were in hell, witnessing this monk not only taking lives but also wantonly humiliating a father while disguised as a daughter.

They are undoubtedly demons!

Blood Blade Ancestor looked at the human skin in his hand and suddenly frowned: "Alas, I'm too rusty. It can't compare to Flying Dragon's skills."

At this point, he turned to look at Ren Shaoyang and smiled slightly.

"We've finally met, Ren Shaoyang."
